About Engineered Wood Flooring
At Wood Floor Warehouse, we buy all our engineered wood floors in bulk and directly from the factory to ensure the best possible prices. Engineered flooring is the most popular type of real wood flooring as it is the most stable while delivering authentic wood warmth and texture. We stock a large range, ready for fast dispatch or collection in-store. If you’ve been looking for a floor upgrade, this could be the option that works best for you.
Why you’ll love engineered wood flooring
Without going into too much detail, engineered flooring is designed to be incredibly stable and more durable than standard flooring. It is typically made in a way that makes installation fast, with the top layer adaptable to be primed in pretty much any colour or finish you’d want. If you take a look at our most popular options, they vary nicely from glossy finishes to the trendy reclaimed style.
Understanding what makes engineered wood flooring special
So, what is it that makes this flooring stand out from the rest? The ‘engineered’ part is the method used to create each plank you lay on the floor. In the simplest terms, common durable wood like timber or oak gets cut into thin layers and planed before being pressed together (sometimes at opposing angles) with a veneer on top. Stacking the layers as such creates a stronger bond for a plank.
Knowing how engineered flooring helps in your home
With all those thin layers stuck together, what benefit does it give you? The main reason you’d want this type of flooring is down to needing something that will provide stability and strength. That’s why it is common to have it in hallways (long wide planks are good for halls) and busy rooms at home.
We stock thicker engineered flooring in the 13mm-20mm range, making it a better choice if you want to replace creaky bedroom floors and want something that will retain heat and prevent sound bleeding through the house. Unsure what flooring you need? Use our super-handy Floor Finder tool.
Engineered wood flooring for commercial spaces
Pretty much everything you see here is suitable for light commercial use. Commercial spaces typically need more coverage, so please use the calculator at the top of the page to budget effectively. If you know it’s going to be used in a café/bar/restaurant, where spills are bound to happen, we recommend going for 5* wear rating products that don’t need glue (helps in case planks need swapped out/replaced). Opt for scratch-resistant engineered flooring for spaces where furniture and such are getting moved around a lot, opt for scratch-resistant engineered flooring.
Taking care of engineered wood flooring
By its very nature, wood flooring has to get a few scratches here and there over the years. Thankfully, engineered flooring is easy to take care of. We have you covered with a comprehensive selection of flooring protection products, including care kits & felt pads. For anyone who plans to install their order, double-check that you have all the floor fitting tools you need before heading to checkout.
